Good one my friend. Nice fine details. You can see quite interesting things with your small Lunt.

May I ask you a favor. On first, when I started to post my sun sketches, I was naming them as an example, October 15th sun but someone else posted with the same name so I changed the name of ALL my previous sketches by adding sketch at the end as October 15th sun sketch. But now you arrive with the same formula so that may be confusing no ? Now its too late for me to change the name of my previous sketches, I can't no more edit them. Maybe you can add Michel December 30th sun sketch ? Or December 30th sun sketch from France ? Just a little thing to make it different name as me.

Fine sketches. I read in Astronomie Magazine that you sometimes work with green pastel on white paper (and invert it after scanning). How this one was sketched (the paper looks light pink on my screen)?

Very nice sketches, and I like the way you include our planet for scale. I find it interesting that the sun spot in the full sun sketch appears to be larger than planet Earth. Most people don't realize how massive our sun is.

I also noticed the very light pink background color. It's no big deal and I actually like it.

Hi Jef

Thanks for your commentsYes indeed sometime I sketch with watercolour, in this case to have a black sky I have to invert and then, artificially I draw in green. For more clarification look at my French page :http://astro.aquarel...m/doc/DocS1.pdf

So, to make this last sketch, I just draw with HB pencil and common drawing tools. After scanning I adapt the sketch playing with the R of the RGB adjustment. I use Paint.net. I feel that keeping a non black background is better to keep the original drawing contrast. To compare here is my original :
